The Silvertips' season came to an end with defeat in the Memorial Cup final, but that doesn't take any of the luster off a historic campaign. https://t.co/smOeFHe8S3

As we wait for the Memorial Cup to start, let's look back at the Olen Zellweger trade and how it played a big part in the Silvertips' first WHL championship — as well as how it'll continue benefitting Everett in the future. https://t.co/QsUoklhUf2

The Silvertips, aided by a little bit of luck, are one win away from their first WHL championship. https://t.co/ryjz8mZ3SI

Is Game 3 of the WHL Final a must-win game for the Silvertips? No. But with Daxon Rudolph out it sure would be a good idea for Everett to get this one. https://t.co/o6eqqQ8vE4

Silvertips captain Tarin Smith didn't play in Game 1 vs. Kelowna. That wasn't a problem in Everett's 4-1 victory, but if Smith remains out it becomes a major issue for the Tips. https://t.co/HaxIwcU6ks
